Chapter 216
216 The Rolling Ring
“Ella, why are you here?” Indri shouted loudly.
At that moment, everyone in the room realized that no one from the Maheswara Family loved the eldest daughter.
Everyone in their seats started whispering to each other.
After five years had passed, the missing figure reappeared. Problems that had been buried deeply began to resurface, making Budi’s face gloomy.
But unfortunately, today is Indri and Haikal’s wedding day. There’s no way he would reprimand his daughter on his own wedding day, especially in front of all the guests, right?
“Indri, your sister came to attend your wedding for you. Of course you’re happy, right?”
Budi tried to calm Indri.
If Indri can follow his words, the Maheswara Family will not feel humiliated in front of the guests.
At that moment, Ella raised her head and smiled at Indri. “My sister, congratulations on your marriage.”
.....
Even though she congratulated her, there was no trace of happiness in her voice.
Haikal looked at Indri with a look of disgust that he didn’t try to hide. Even with her super luxurious dress, Indri couldn’t match Ella’s beauty.
Indri glared at Ella, wishing she could bury her right now.
Why did this woman enter? Why didn’t her parents kick her out?
Does her father want to accept Ella back into her family?
There were all kinds of thoughts running through her mind and each thought was enough to drive her crazy.
“Indri...”
Budi’s calm voice sounded beside her.
However, the only person Indri could see right now was Ella. Seeing the smile on Ella’s face, Indri was increasingly convinced that the woman had come to snatch her future husband.
How could she let this happen?
Indri even forgot that it was her wedding day. She also forgot that they were in the midst of the guests. She stepped towards Ella and shouted loudly, “Why are you here? You’re planning to snatch Haikal from me, right? Go away!”
“INDRI!” Merry stood up from her chair. She grabbed Indri’s hand, surprising everyone. “Today is your wedding day with Haikal!”
Her firm tone made Indri finally snap out from her madness.
She turned back and saw her father who was looking at her. Budi looks so scary when he warns her in a low voice. “If this wedding falls apart, I won’t let you get away with it.”
There were so many people who attended this event, especially to celebrate Haikal and Indri’s wedding. But why was this daughter so stupid?
If Indri ignored Ella and carried on with the wedding, she would become Haikal’s wife soon!
Merry also felt angry. But she should not treat her family harshly in public. She tried to patiently remind her daughter. “It doesn’t matter even if Ella comes. Haikal is in front of you and you will soon be exchanging rings. You will become husband and wife. At that time, if Ella dared to disturb Haikal, she would be called a homewrecker.”
The words from her mother immediately calmed Indri.
She was so worried about losing Haikal that she lost control of herself just now.
She nodded and looked at Ella with a smile. “Thank you, sister.” After that, she returned to the stage and said, “Let’s continue.”
Budi and Merry also returned to their original positions.
Bayu’s gaze swept over the people around him. His face looks very angry. Indri has humiliated the Maheswara Family and it also affects his family now.
She is the daughter-in-law of the Adisurya Family. Whatever Indri does will affect the Adisurya Family!
Finally, the wedding reached its main event. The witness who was in front of the altar said, “Indriani Maheswara, are you willing to marry Haikal Adisurya, in hardship or joy, abundance or lack, in health or in sickness, to love and respect each other, until death do you part?”
“I am willing!” Indri replied with enthusiasm.
Her face was filled with sparkling light. How could she not be excited? She had been waiting for this day for so long and finally, she could achieve her dream!
Ella’s gaze fell on the two people on the altar, immersed in their figures.
Maybe a small part of her heart still hoped that she would also have her own wedding one day.
Hoping that there will be a man who is willing to love and protect her, in good days and bad days.
Hoping that there would be a man who would exchange rings with her in front of so many people.
Hoping that there will be a man who will spend a lifetime with her, regardless of what has happened in the past...
Christian is not interested in marriage. All his attention was on Ella. He knew what Ella was thinking right now.
Christian knows very well that Ella also wants a wedding. The woman wants to get married and have a small family of her own, after all her troubles are finally over later.
Holding Ella’s hand tightly, Christian warns her softly. “If you dare to think such nonsense, I won’t forgive you when we get back.”
No matter who, be it Haikal or other men, no one should approach Ella!
Ella immediately smiles at Christian. “Actually, I’m glad.”
She was glad that she wasn’t on the altar, married to a jerk like Haikal. She was happy because the one in that position was Indri. She was waiting for the misery that Indri would feel from this moment on.
Haikal’s gaze was cold and disgusted. Ella could see it clearly.
Is this what real marriage is like?
Hearing Ella’s words, Christian feels a little more relieved. He thought Ella was happy to be around him.
Ella doesn’t know why Christian’s mood has suddenly improved and she doesn’t want to ask further. Wouldn’t it be better like this?
The wedding is still going on.
This time, it was Haikal’s turn to say his marriage vows.
“Haikal Adisurya, are you willing to marry Indriani Maheswara, in hardship or joy, rich or poor, in time of health or illness, to love and respect each other, until ...”
“Yes, I am willing.”
Haikal immediately interrupted the promise impatiently, as if he wanted to end it all.
Indri’s face paled. She felt annoyed.
It’s all because of Ella that Haikal treats her like this!
The anger in her heart continued to rise, but she was still able to suppress it. She remembered her mother’s words clearly.
When they had to exchange rings, Indri’s hands trembled slightly. She even dropped the ring, sending it rolling on the floor.
Indri immediately panicked and tried to chase the ring.
Until the ring suddenly stopped... at Ella’s feet.
